I didn’t realize so many people would really take an 800 credit score over $100,000

it depends on your circumstance.. I have a high fico already, so I’ll take the 100k and leverage it for business loan. If my fico is dogshyt and i have money then I’ll take the 800 fico. If i had no money and a dogshyt fico then I’m taking the 100k (because there’s probably debt or collections that need to be paid off and caused my fico to tank)

To maintain that 800 means you have to maintain debt, maybe not a lot, but it requires it. I noticed when I hit 800+ that shyt would drop 10 to 20 points I paid off my cc in full every month. Im debt free but use cc for the benefits. I make over 100k as well.... Give me the money. You'll be fine with just a 730 score.... Hell even a 700 is nice.
There’s nothing wrong with having debt. We gotta start learning how to play the game. It’s like in the nba they give you 5 fouls before you foul out on the 6th. No point in ending the game not using any of your fouls. I hate comparing different groups of ppl but it is what it is. I was at an Indian wedding recently and they all had money. They told me they came here and leveraged credit card and debt. Would get $30k credit limit and use it to help buy a hotel. Then pay that off get more credit and buy another one. Overtime they’re millionaires and have something to pass on to their kids. The reason most ppl are scared of debt is because they do stupid shyt with it, buying a bunch of shyt with no value they don’t need. If I weren’t in he field I was in I’d max out a bunch of cards and throw it all into crypto and just make the monthly payments overtime. The 20% interest ain’t shyt to 4x gains. I gotta maintain a security clearance so I can’t be messing with my credit like that but yeah.

with that said in this scenario you take the $100k because that will allow you to get 800 credit score anyways

If the credit score is that important, wouldn't taking the 100k and paying off your debts or getting current on your debts achieve the same results? Except you'd have extra cash to show for it

My dad has an 800 credit score and he isn’t driving no lambo

but is your dad trying to do credit card arbitrage and using the money for his cards to transition into business credit and doing all of that?

it’s more to it than just having a credit score. But I also can’t knock people for not wanting to do all of that.

$100K easily:
Pay off my debt which really ain't much
put a good amount of principal into my house
upgrade my car with a decent down payment

save and invest the rest

I’d take an 800 over 100K….

but if I didn’t have anything I’d take the 100K


im around 730ish with an 800 I’d quickly PG my way into some better business accounts


Nah breh….an extra 100k is farrrrrr more advantageous to you than an extra 70 points on your credit score. You’re overthinking this. :mjlol:


The only people who should even consider forgoing the 100k are those with a solid multimillion dollar plan, an extraordinarily shytty credit score, and some minimum level of capital/access to capital already. A very small subset of the population. The vast majority of us should just take the money.
